You are going to want to turn off the juke box on the right of the blog to hear this one.
Last year at the Art & Soul conference I took a class from Robert Danick, he started his classes using a Tibetian singing bowl.
I knew right then I wanted to find one for myself. I finally found one while visiting my sister in California last month. This singing bowl has water inside. ...How about that for releasing negative molecules??

23 years strong!!
This weekend Greg and I celebrated our 23rd year wedding anniversary. We met at work, both of us worked at Baxter Healthcare in Irvine California, he was a software engineer and I was a drafts person. Greg didn't work at Baxter for very long so I was lucky that our paths crossed when they did, I on the other hand worked there 20 plus years.
We dated for 4 years and then decided to take the plunge. We were married in Lake Tahoe on July 16th making no big fuss just the two of us and the minister.
We celebrated this year by going to Wolfgang Pucks Bar & Grill in the MGM Grand Hotel. The food was outstanding I had the organic chicken and potatoes with asparagus and Greg had the fish of the day which was Halabit and then we splurged by sharing the pastry chef's special of the day which was a lemon curd tart with a meringue topping and blueberries on the side.
I would definitely go back and recommend you check it out as well.

Phoenix Update
The following was posted on the Hornby Eagle site.
This morning we received the preliminary findings from the necropsy performed on Phoenix.
Phoenix was a female. She died from acute bilateral mycotic pneumonia.
Other tests results will become available over the next week, and will confirm the causative agent.
Because Phoenix's death was caused by an infectious disease, sadly, she cannot be returned to Hornby Island for interment.
We owe a debt of gratitude to Maj Birch (Mountainaire Avian Rescue), Dr. Schwantje (wildlife veterinarian, British Columbia Ministry of Environment) and Dr. Bowes (avian pathologist for the British Columbia Animal Health Laboratory) for their dedication and determination to learn as much from Phoenix as they could.
A.J.L., on behalf of Doug Carrick and the Hornby Eagle Group.
Terms:
Acute: rapid onset
Bilateral: both lungs
Mycotic: fungal
Pneumonia: inflammatory lung condition

Phoenix
Very sad today, logged onto the Eagle site to find out that they were removing this year's baby eagle from the nest due to an unexpected death. This year they named the Eagle "Phoenix", he was due to take his first flight from the nest this week or next.
The following is the information straight from the Hornby website.
HORNBY EAGLES - LATEST NEWS!
Doug and Sheila Carrick, the Hornby Eagle Group, and friends are shocked and saddened to report the sudden death of our beloved Phoenix at 7:19 nest time, Wednesday, July 14.
Yesterday afternoon a rescue effort was underway, but Phoenix collapsed and had difficulty breathing. He died from unknown causes, at an age (76 days) where this is very rarely seen.
His body was removed from the nest shortly after 1 P.M. on Thursday, July 15. He will be taken to Vancouver island MARS wildlife rehabilitation centre where he will be examined and necropsied by a skilled veterinarian and wildlife rehabilitator.
We ask that you remember him by supporting the work of the Mountainaire Avian Rescue Society (MARS) (http://wingbeats.info/), who moved heaven and earth to get help to him.
We love you Phoenix and we mourn with Mom and Dad Hornby.
We kindly ask that questions about events are not sent to any of the mailboxes as we have been inundated and cannot cope with the volume.
We have a very friendly and information Forum where you can read the many posts on the subject and hopefully find what you are looking for. You are welcome to just read or you are invited to join if you wish to contribute.
We are all very sad at this time and our hearts go out to Mom and Dad Hornby and of course Doug and Sheila Carrick and everyone else who has put in a lot of time and devotion to this nest.
